Richard B. Yeaton built a sawmill on the Pensaukee River in 1854 and called the settlement West Pensaukee. It was renamed Abrams for W. J. Abrams, a railroad investor, state representative in 1860s, and Green Bay mayor in 1880s. He owned land where the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Western rail line built a depot in 1881.
